Show overview

Retro Wars has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 201 episodes. That works out to roughly 270 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 9m and 1h 30m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Leisure show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 15 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Daniel Carroll.

E

Still one of the weirdest names for the video game, it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - The Manhattan Project on the NES. I had never played this prior to this podcast and this saddens me because it is a great game. The turtles are on the quest to save Manhattan from being lifted from the ground...yes it is odd.

Ep 203Episode 202 - Ristar

E

Ristar the Sonic killer, well that was what he was called at the time. Surprisingly this game was only released on the mega drive and game gear with no other sequels. Made by the Sonic Team, this was a very different game where one little star needs to go out to save his father....by headbutting his enemies.

Dino Crisis....Resident Evil with Zombies. Let's be honest, it is the easiest way to describe it. I played this as a kid, after my brother was done with it.
